What makes a good market stall poster?
A good market stall poster tells passers-by in a few seconds what you sell, what the offer is and why to stop now. It needs one big message, such as a discount after a set time, the prices of the main products, and where and when the stall runs. It is read standing up, from a few steps away, often outdoors, so the design depends on size and contrast.
When it helps
- A bakery stall advertising a late-afternoon discount to clear bread before packing up.
- A new trader telling regular shoppers which pitch they have moved to.
- A poster for a farm shop noticeboard that sends people to the Saturday stall.
- Promoting a seasonal product, such as the first strawberries, for one week only.
Tips
- Test the poster from three or four steps away; if the offer is not readable at that distance, make the headline bigger and cut the rest.
- Put the time limit in the headline, not small print; a hidden after 2pm condition annoys customers at the stall.
- Say how people can pay, cash, card or both, because shoppers walk past stalls they think take cash only.
How to make a market stall poster
Write the offer in one line
State the deal in the fewest words that are still exact, such as 20% off sourdough after 2pm. If it needs a sentence of conditions, simplify the offer.
Show the offer as a picture
A drawing of what the discount means, such as a loaf with its last fifth marked, explains the deal faster than the percentage alone.
List products with weights and prices
Give each product, its size or weight and its price in a tidy table, so shoppers can compare without asking.
Add where and when
Name the stall number, a landmark that makes it easy to find, and the days and hours you trade, including any sell-out caveat.
Print for outdoors
Use A3 or larger where the poster must be read from the aisle, and laminate it or slip it in a clear sleeve against rain.
FAQQuestions
Common questions.
What size poster is best for a market stall?
A3 (297 x 420 mm) is a practical minimum for a poster read from the aisle, with A4 working only for prices at the front of the table. Larger boards or banners suit the stall front. Choose the size by how far away customers will be when they first see it.
How do you protect a poster at an outdoor market?
Laminate it, use a waterproof synthetic paper, or put it in a clear plastic sleeve or a clip frame. Weigh or clip it down against wind, and avoid inks or papers that run when wet.
How do you write a discount on a poster?
Say exactly what is discounted, by how much and when: 20% off all sourdough after 2pm is clearer than big savings today. A percentage suits a range of prices; a new price, such as 3.20 instead of 4.00, suits a single product.
